### [Read the passage.](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Lk24.36-53)
While they were talking about Jesus visiting with Simon and with Cleopas and
the other disciple, Jesus shows up again! It seems like He just suddenly
appears in the locked room with them all, without warning. This time He proves
to them that He is physically there, showing them the wounds His body still
bears, and eating some fish. I really like the phrase Luke used, "they still
disbelieved for joy" (_v. 41_) A lot of them had seen Jesus raise other people
from the dead, but this is the only time anyone has ever raised themselves, so
their disbelief is understandable. But even when they can see Him there, they
are so happy they can't really believe it.
Next, Jesus lifts the veil on their minds that kept them from fully
understanding the words He spoke about Himself concerning His death and
resurrection. He explains to them as He did on the road to Emmaus how so many
things in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and even the Psalms are about
Himself. Not only passages like Genesis 3 and Isaiah 9, but like Psalm 22 and 2
as well.
Jesus commissions His disciples to be His witnesses of these things, that
Christ has suffered and died, but rose again. Therefore, they are to call the
people to repent and gain forgiveness of their sins in the name of Jesus. They
are witnesses of a factual account, not a made-up story for the accolades of
man. God has done wonderful things in their lives, and now they should tell
everyone about them. The first place they should start is Jerusalem. Jesus
tells them to stay there in the city until power from Heaven comes down on
them.
"Then", that is forty days later (as Luke tells us in the sequel), Jesus takes
them a couple of miles from Jerusalem, prays over them, and ascends into
Heaven. The disciples respond with worship and great joy.
